Right now the kids are getting ready to finish their exams and start their fall break. This means that they will be at home a lot more and helping with the chores. It also means that the holidays are coming and that the scarcity of food will be even more upsetting for many of them.
Thanks to our food baskets, we have been able to provide households with enough food for an entire holiday meal and more. It has been a sense of relief for many families because gathering together for a feast is a major tradition of the holidays, and they are so happy to be able to participate.
Many of the guardians who own the households voluntarily adopt these sick and orphaned children out of the goodness of their hearts. They are typically struggling to survive for themselves and may not even know the kids, but they offer them a home. They explain their reasoning to be, “kwa umpendo wa mtoto.” It means for the love of a child.
We appreciate all your support and hope you continue to donate to our food baskets especially as the holidays arrive.
Asante
